There are special tools made for this. But a cheaper way to go is if you have a spare distributor laying around. You'll have to take off the cam gear. You may also have to grind some of the items off the top to allow a drill to be hooked up to it. Drop the distributor in and hook up the drill. At a fairly moderate speed, turn the drill on until oil starts coming up out of the rocker arms. It is now primed.
